The advertisements are easy to find on websites and blogs. Just type “aborsi, tempat, Jakarta” in any search engine and you will find a dozen contact numbers for abortion services.

Those numbers will lead you to private health clinics. You will talk to a nice, friendly guy who will provide you with information. But, you have to convince him you really need help. The service is illegal and the people on the phone are usually very careful.

Status Quo Incompatible With Human Rights Obligations and European Court Ruling
(London, January 10, 2013) –Irish legislators should take decisive action to safeguard in law the right of women and girls to terminate a life-threatening pregnancy, and explore further reforms to the countries’ near total ban on abortion, Human Rights Watch said today. The Irish Human Rights Commission should advise the law makers on how current restrictive laws violate women’s human rights and put the lives and health of women and adolescent girls at risk.

On January 28, 2013, Canada will celebrate 25 years of reproductive freedom. Since our Supreme Court struck down Canada's abortion law in 1988, our country's experience is proof that laws against abortion are unnecessary. A full generation of Canadians has lived without a law and we are better off because of it.

There has been no significant improvement in the survival of extremely premature babies born before 24 weeks' gestation in more than a decade.

The finding, from two studies conducted 11 years apart, provides the first definitive evidence contradicting Cabinet ministers' claims that the abortion limit should be lowered because "the science has moved on".
